Why you should eat more: Apples hang around in your stomach a while longer, making you feel full longer. Chewing one can even clean your teeth. Plus they're so practical, you have no excuse not to substitute one for that chocolate. They're relatively cheap, widely available and highly portable- they don't have to be refrigerated, sliced, cooked or even peeled, and they're sturdy enough to roll around in your gym bag all day without getting mushy.
How to up your intake: If you find eating a whole apple cumbersome, slice it or cube it, sprinkle some juice to prevent it from oxidant and drizzle just a tsp of honey over it. Tuck in. You will be surprised just how delicious it tastes. You could also toss chopped apples in salads. it tastes terrific in a mustard- vinaigrette coleslaw.
